Description: The life and times of Philip II of Spain form the core of Carlos Fuentes's novel. Here chronological time and conventional history are abolished as Philip builds El Escorial, marries England's Elizabeth Tudor and witnesses the discovery of the New World.
Synopsis: One of the great masterpieces of modern Latin American fiction, Terra Nostra is concerned with nothing less than the history of Spain and of South America, with the Indian Gods and with Christianity, with the birth, the passion, and the death of civilizations. Fuentes skillfully blends a wide range of literary forms, stories within stories, Mexican and Spanish myth, and famous literary characters in this novel that is both a historical epic and an apocalyptic vision of modern times. Terra Nostra is that most ambitious and rare of creations--a total work of art. First published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (1976), most recent paperback by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (1983).
